An exclamation of approval. e.g. "You don't have to buy any beer mate, I have already bought a tinnie or two with me. You beaut mate!"
(1) Lying, winding up, bullshitting, As used at Ashcroft High School, Luton, Bedfordshire, from before I arrived in my 2nd year in 1980. By that time all the kids had already got to know each other and more importantly were LOCAL to each other. I was a total newcomer, and green as grass from my village existence. You can guess the rest... (contribution added verbatim (g)) (2) Ejaculate, semen (ed: or as the contributor put it "The white stuff that comes out of your penis when it ejaculates.".
Pronounced "Quiz" and "Eggo". I think this is here already somewhere as a call and response where someone is giving something away; this is definitely from the Latin as there are some additional words somtimes used; eg if there are two or more people shouting "Ego" at about the same time and the person shouting "Quis" isn't sure who was first or doesn't like all of the people claiming, it would then open up to people shouting "Mihi" and then the "Quis"-er could choose one of the claimants by looking at them and saying "Tibi". Obviously this variant only takes place in schools where everyone has learnt some Latin (literally as far as I remember "Quis?"=Who?, "Ego"="I", "mihi"=to me (sometimes "meum"=mine, "tibi"= to you (or "teum"=yours)). I suppose logically the "Quis"-er could say "vobis" to give out a number of things to the whole lot but I never heard this!, Pretty much any UK prep school up until at least the 1980's. Even posh kids grow out of talking to each other in Latin by the time they hit puberty! (ed: I never took Latin - and since I have no idea what any of this means, it was included verbatim)
News that has already been heard or told before.
More derogitory version of the word "Dweeb" meaning a Dork of questionable sexuality. Some history. The contributors school had a teacher who would allow "low grade" swearing but would only do so on paymnt into a "swear box" of 25 cents a word. Thus the class invented many new words based on words already in common usage to avoid the payments. Thus the words were used (and abused) regularly in the town. Lots of other words invented at this time were:
Slang for, "You already know". An acknowledgement like, "True-that" or "You know this"Â "You goin' to the party tonight? Already."Â
Depart, leave, exit. e.g. "As I already told you mate, I'm not interested, will you please choof off?"
To deliberately flood compartments on the opposite side from already flooded ones. Usually done to reduce a list caused by damage.
Idiot, fool, brain dead moron. Often coined as an insult aimed at a person with negligible intelligence i.e. "Phipps failed Maths again. What a pleb!!" (ed: sent in the secondtime by a pleb who got his wires slightly crossed not realising the word was already here).
To drop a penny into someone's drink means that they have to down it in one. If you penny someone who has already been pennyed then you also have to down your drink. If you miss with the penny you have to down your drink. Leads to bottles of wine being finished before the starter has been served.
Full speed. e.g. "I can't go any faster I'm flat out already"
Extremely drunk, beyond legal limits. e.g. "How is George? Not good, he is already full as a boot!" See also Blotto
Similar in definition to Chatham Chav, Kappa Slappa, Essex Girl, Shazza etc. They are girls who wear reebok trainers, kappa-sportswear, white puffa jackets, clowns (a really foul type of jewellery which involves a gold, jewelled, preferably moveable, clown (yes, a clown), the bigger the better hanging off a gold chain), lots of reeeeeally tacky 'Ratners' style gold jewellery and hair which can be any of the following hairstyles - plastered to head with a small thin section curled and styled with half a tub of gel and forced to hang next to face; the pineapple (hair in pony tail right on top of head) or extravagant bun (very long hair twisted into an overexaggerated bun) - all of these hairstyles MUST use a gold scrunchie and as much gel as is humanly possible. These girls normally get pregnant by the age of 12 and have boyfriends called Gazza and Kevin. I know you've seen them walking down the street - sadly, everyone has had the misfortune at some time of their life. (ed: now that's what I call a definition!) Talking of definitions, we received this... and I forgot to note who sent it (sorry): I was surprised this one wasn't in the dictionary already. (ed: which it was of course... but never mind the technicalities). I first came accross the word in the early nineties when I was 10-15 years old. We used it to mean exactly the definition you have listed for 'scally'. At some point, perhaps around 1995, 1996 using the word 'townie' went out of fashion and people gradually began to use 'scally' all the time. Today, in the area I come from (Manchester, but esp. South Manchester) you wouldn never hear 'townie' used in this sense, always 'scally'. I have a friend at university who still uses it as we would've done in Manchester in the early nineties. She's from North Yorkshire and says it's still used a lot there. Further still, another university friend, from London, says that to him it means something different from 'scally' and always has done. I'm not quite certain of his definition but he may say, for example, "I don't like going out in Leeds on a Saturday night because it's full of townies" - meaning more like the general 'locals' of any social class, age, dress-style., Sorry for the lengthy explanation! What fascinates me most about this word is the way it was used consistently by people in the area I lived in when I was a younger teenager and then suddenly, within about a year, everyone was using 'scally' instead and 'townie' had become an almost uncool thing to say. I remember thinking to myself - I must start trying to say 'scally' instead of 'townie' so that I sound cool. It's been suggested I pass you on to this url for a fuller description of the phenomenon: http://www.geocities.com/chatham_girls/home.htm
